On a whim, I tried the brie cheese bites at McDonald's while I was in France. (Train stations give you limited options.) They looked like triangular chicken nuggets. They tasted like... funky brie flavored plastic. Who buys these things when they have such fabulous cheese readily available? On the other hand, their french fries were still delicious.

MorePeasPlease:FTA: You know what the problem is with American donuts? The complete lack of meat. How are we supposed to get our protein if our breakfasts only consist of chocolate or glazed donuts?

The local bakery here has a maple-glazed bacon-sprinkled donut bar that, when served warmed, is life changing.

All you people who are Ipressed with "maple bacon donuts" - have you never had pancakes with maple syrup and a side of bacon? You all seem mystified that some shiatty donut joint combined the tastes of maple syrup and bacon.

Asian Pizza Hut does a seafood pizza that's pretty tasty. Also, the hummus and falafel sub that Subway sells in India is better than anything they sell in the US, ditto for the chicken tikka sub. Oh, and KFC in China has a wrap with chicken strips, cucumber, and duck sauce that I really wish they'd sell in the US.

Basically, every US fast food chain sells their best options everywhere but the US.

I know you can get fries at Wendy's in Canada with nacho cheese sauce and chili. They keep jalapeno guacamole on hand for the Baja salad, I bet you could just get them to put a scoop on the chili fries.

I am vaguely reminded of some old wisdom, which is that if you see an elderly southern black gentleman doing up a BBQ on the side of the road in the really deep south, you should probably stop and have some farking excellent BBQ.

Well, UAE diners are probably laughing at its quaintness while they unhinge their jaws and shove a Mega Mac down their throats. That's right-while we get Ronald McDonald's pity ration of two patties, other countries are getting Big Macs made with four layers of beef and three buns.

Haha UAE. The plan to make you as fat as America is working. Now eat your Mega Mac, you've got a decades of unhealthy eating to make up for but I have confidence that you can catch up with the Americans in record time.

HindiDiscoMonster:Grave_Girl: I would settle for being able to get taro pie at a Mainlanad McDonald's.

two things:

1. what is Taro like (is it similar to anything) ?2. When I saw your name, I couldn't help but to think of Abby from NCIS.

Taro is a starchy tuber. In pie form it is purple and tastes kind of like sweet popcorn. Of course, it's the base for the traditional Hawaiian dish of poi, & I also saw it sold whole at the grocery store, but I don't know what else it is commonly used for.

SInce I invented dipping sausage in maple syrup, I am your superior in this matter. And I correct you in saying the donut I mentioned tastes different, but equally glorious.

It is also used for sweet delicious taro bread. Taro bread you must go to Hawaii to get as it is not on the mainland.

And that's relevant why? I assume you never set foot in 7/11 either, since that's an American company and all. You're so superior, refusing to eat at a place that Thais eat at all the time.

You can't avoid 7/11s, that's where I bought my cigarettes. Street food was cheap and delicious. Get over yourself.

Seriously dude, you're the one who needs to get over yourself. You're one of those pretentious asses who thinks they're better than everybody else because you never set foot in a McDonalds. I bet you never set foot out of Khao San Road except to get too and from the airport.

Yep. I'm the judgmental prick here. Enjoy your Mc Donalds.

You are the judgmental prick. And since you didn't deny the KSR bit, I know I'm right.

I know the type. The backpacker who never leaves the backpacker district, but thinks they're a "traveler" when all they do is hang out with other "travelers" talking about how deep they are, when the only locals they get to know are the people working at the front desk of their hostel.

I will judge you for being an idiotic coont. I didn't live in BKK, and when I did, I preferred the Patpong area.
